An Overview of Toilet Partition Hardware for the Small Business Owner

How do I purchase toilet partition hardware? Toilet partition hardware is typically purchased in one of two ways: either through a general contractor or through a toilet partition hardware supplier such as our company. In either case, your supplier or contractor should work with you to identify your needs, work within your price ranges, and make sure all installed equipment is up to code.

How do I know what toilet partition hardware I need? Your supplier should be able to assist you fully in making your purchasing decisions. If your business is near the supplier from whom you are purchasing, a sales representative may be able to come to your business and assess your hardware needs. In many cases, your supplier will be able to assess your restroom partition hardware needs through examining a floor plan of your restroom.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of working with a general contractor versus a toilet partition hardware supplier? General contractors will manage your entire construction project. Instead of hiring and working with members from each trade needed in your construction project, (plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc.), you’ll work with only one person who will sub-contract any other tradespersons you need for the project. When working with a general contractor, you will pay slightly more than you might if you hired each tradesperson in your construction team individually. However, if you’re a person who doesn’t know much about construction, working with a general contractor can provide you peace of mind and ensure that your construction project is completed in a timely manner. We typically recommend working with a general contractor in the case of new buildings and comprehensive remodels where more than three trades will be involved. Our company offers both general contracting services and specific restroom partition services.

How do I make sure my restroom is in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? In almost all cases, federal law mandates that at least one of your restrooms/stalls be fully accessible to handicapped persons. A good restroom partition hardware supplier will work with you to ensure that you purchase equipment that allows you to be in full compliance with the law. They will also work with you throughout the installation process to ensure that all of your hardware and partitions are installed to code.

What are the advantages of working with a local supplier? In addition to looking at your architectural plans, if necessary, a local toilet partition hardware supplier will be able to visit your small business to get a better sense of your needs. Our company serves the San Francisco Bay Area, and we not only visit our clients’ businesses when necessary, but are available at any time for on-site customer support if you need any after installation assistance with our hardware.

I already have fully functioning, up to code restrooms, but I need a few replacement toilet partition hardware parts. Do you sell and install individual replacement parts? Yes, we sell individual parts. You should contact one of our sales representatives to make sure you are ordering the correct part and to discuss options for installation.
